OOps, wrong link, sorry.
Well I have some body work progress photos, but the upholstery guy hasn't gotten any progress.

Hey folks, a little update here. I've received the rubber door,trunk, and window seals from Scott's old auto rubber in Australia. Stuff looks great. The body man tells me he is nearing completion on body work. I hope to have pics of that and the upholstery progress this week.
I may have had a change of heart on color selection. I've become infatuated with the 05 Mazda 6 color "blazing copper". If you've seen it it's similar to GM's "atomic orange". Tell me what you think, and stay tuned.....................

Here are the plastic exterior trim vents that go on the sides of the rear windshield and between the front windshield and hood. I refinished them.

My front and rear spoiler.......... I guess I'm not going completely stock after all.

Paint them black, or color matched?

I'd say color-match them, it will make the car look cleaner. I like the copper color you picked.
